While the controllability power of ipsilesional sensorimotor regions was particularly impacted when damaging the targets, the other regions appeared to be less affected when the sensorimotor target was attacked.
This weak effect was in part due to the relatively low values of control centrality of those regions, which limited the possible range of change after the damage. More in general, this might be related to a putative high reachability of the sensorimotor system given its high connection density [1]}, [2]}, [3]} and the presence of alternative pathways between frontal, parietal and limbic areas [4]}, [5]}.
